About Apps

The Health Sciences Library provides several mobile apps and websites for the UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Hospitals community.

  • If you access any of the mobile websites from off campus, you will be prompted to enter your Onyen and password to access them, but the mobile apps will typically NOT require you to login every time once installed.
  • Please review the Access Instructions tab for more details on installation or email an HSL Librarian if you need assistance.

Canopy Speak

Canopy Speak, available for iPhone and Android phones, is a translation app that has won an award from the NIH. Try using it to bridge any communication gaps with your patients or clients.

From the Canopy web site:

Interactive Phrase Library

The phrase library is the largest corpus of pre-translated medical phrases ever developed, organized by frequently encountered procedures and medical specialties, and available in text and audio in 15 languages. Use the phrases to break the ice with a patient before the interpreter arrives or for basic instruction for an exam during rounds.

Connect with Live Interpreters

The "Call Interpreter" function provides a seamless channel directly to your facility's over-the-phone interpreter line.


Canopy Speak currently has 10 sections: General, Anesthesia, Dentistry, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics.
